TLDR
Predictable developments in optical components, sub-systems and systems and their consequences on the architecture and performances of the networks are analysed and specific interest is focused on the various parts of the network structure.Abstract:
On the basis of Europeanist project results in the field of photonics, theoptimist thematic network has produced a roadmap for optical communications This work is described in the present article which provides scenarios for the evolution of the optical network in the coming 10 years Predictable developments in optical components, sub-systems and systems and their consequences on the architecture and performances of the networks are analysed Specific interest is focused on the various parts of the network structure namely the access, the metropolitan area, the wide area and the global networks Technical documents elaborated by theoptimist consortium and minutes fromist workshops can be found on the website http://wwwist-optimistorg/[1] They constitute a main source for further informationread more

Effective method of characterization of the phase and intensity profiles of asymmetrically distorted light pulses in optical fiber systems
TL;DR: In this paper, the problem of characterization of light pulses that propagate in long-haul high-bit-rate optical communication systems, under strongly perturbed conditions, was addressed by partially reformulating the conventional technique by means of appropriate pulse parameters, which allowed a fair characterization of the intensity and phase of all types of light pulse, including those which are asymmetrically distorted.
